Ingredients
4 tbsp bacon or sausage grease
3 tbsp flour rounded
2 cups water approximately
1/2 small can tomato paste (3 oz)
Salt and pepper to taste (not too much salt)
Directions
In a skillet, stir flour into grease over medium-high heat. Let flour cook and brown, keep stirring, don’t let it burn. When roux has browned, pour water into skillet, while stirring with a whisk. Whisk in tomato paste until well blended; when gravy begins to thicken reduce heat to low. Add salt and pepper to taste. You may need to add a little more water if gravy becomes too thick. Serve with love over hot biscuits along with bacon or sausage for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Morning, noon or night, you’ll feel the love because your heart and your tummy will be full.
Some folks use chopped fresh or canned crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce in place of the tomato paste.
